Clear storm damage from Arturo's garden in Girona
Arturo, 76, can no longer manage the yard after a storm; we are looking for helpers with chainsaws and rakes.

I'm 76 and I have lived in this house in Girona for 25 years. After the storm in December, two large branches and a fallen fence have blocked the back door and the garden path. I can no longer manage them myself because of poor eyesight.
The council has told me it will be eight weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Glad we found this place.

Thanks for sharing this, Arturo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Adama
Stay strong, Arturo. Get well soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Stay strong, Arturo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Thane.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Konya
best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
sending love. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Sacramento so I could bring a meal.
good luck, Arturo. Get well soon. Sent it to 27 people at work. Greetings from Cali.
praying for you, Arturo. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Girona.
wishing Arturo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless!
Good luck, Arturo. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Dresden but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Arturo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Girona.
